Supporting innovation at every stage

WRF operates at the intersection of academic research, technology development, public and private investment, philanthropy and industry. We have a strong track record of supporting innovation in the life sciences and engineering, from early research to commercial production.

Washington Research Foundation values diversity. We're committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in our staff, our board of directors, and the researchers, entrepreneurs and organizations we fund. We encourage people of color, women and other underserved communities to apply for our employment, grant-making and investment opportunities.
